Notes on the current edition

Against Demosthenes

1. Demosthenes ( Dem. 18.132 ) confirms this and says that Antiphon promised Philip that he would burn the dockyards in the Piraeus . Demosthenes caught him there and brought him before the people, who at first acquitted him. But the Areopagus intervened and he was later executed.
2. Charinus, a figure of little importance, is mentioned as a traitor in the speech against Theocrines, which was attributed by Dionysius to Dinarchus but has survived among the works of Demosthenes ( Dem. 58.38 ).
